          Read data into a streambuf until a function object indicates a match.

          This function is used to read data into the specified streambuf until a
          user-defined match condition function object, when applied to the data
          contained in the streambuf, indicates a successful match. The call will
          block until one of the following conditions is true:
        </p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc">
<li class="listitem">
              The match condition function object returns a std::pair where the second
              element evaluates to true.
            </li>
<li class="listitem">
              An error occurred.
            </li>
</ul></div>
<p>
          This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's
          read_some function. If the match condition function object already indicates
          a match, the function returns immediately.

<p>
                The iterator parameters <code class="computeroutput">begin</code> and <code class="computeroutput">end</code> define
                the range of bytes to be scanned to determine whether there is a
                match. The <code class="computeroutput">first</code> member of the return value is an iterator
                marking one-past-the-end of the bytes that have been consumed by
                the match function. This iterator is used to calculate the <code class="computeroutput">begin</code>
                parameter for any subsequent invocation of the match condition. The
                <code class="computeroutput">second</code> member of the return value is true if a match
                has been found, false otherwise.

<p>
          After a successful read_until operation, the streambuf may contain additional
          data beyond that which matched the function object. An application will
          typically leave that data in the streambuf for a subsequent read_until
          operation to examine.
        </p>
<p>
          The default implementation of the <code class="computeroutput">is_match_condition</code> type
          trait evaluates to true for function pointers and function objects with
          a <code class="computeroutput">result_type</code> typedef. It must be specialised for other user-defined
          function objects.
